East German Border Guard Peak Cap Hat Size 58

The East German Border Guard Peak Cap Hat, size 58, is an authentic piece of Cold War era militaria associated with the Grenztruppen der DDR (Border Troops of the GDR). The cap features the distinctive East German insignia, including the national cockade and wreath emblem, and is finished with the traditional green piping and black peak. Constructed with standard issue materials such as wool-blend fabric for the body and synthetic lining, this headgear was part of the standard uniform worn by border guards stationed along the inner German border and the Berlin Wall. The size 58 corresponds to a medium/large head circumference. These caps were primarily used from the 1960s until the dissolution of East Germany in 1990, and represent a significant element of East German military dress. The cap is suitable for historical study, collection, or reference regarding the uniforms of the former German Democratic Republic.
